What Happened To Everyone Who Became Horsemen Of Apocalypse?
12. Ahab
Marvel Comics
A few years after Apocalypse's run-in with Hulk, he decided to assemble a new group of Horsemen. This occurred during The Twelve, an event that hit the X-Men in 2000 that revolved a possible future where Apocalypse was the ruler - sort of how things with with the Age of Apocalypse event that became a smash hit around the same time.
Anyway, in a bid to make this future a reality, Apocalypse started recruiting new mutants to be his Horsemen. One such figure involved was Ahab, an evil scientist from the future who debuted in the pages of Fantastic Four, and who ended up being more machine than man by the time he crossed paths with En Sabah Nur.
A mutant hunter in the future, Dr. Rory Campbell was determined to prevent such a reality from ever coming to pass. Still, try as he might, Apocalypse selected him to be the new Famine, and helped the tyrant capture the twelve mutants that would supposedly usher in his own eponymous age, only to be sent to a different dimension by Rasputin shortly thereafter.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
